DON’T FEAR THE REAPER

(THE LONG SHADOW OF DEATH)

DOC LYNCH

Death can cast a long shadow. The very idea of it, the impending threat of it always lurking in the background can reduce the toughest person to a worry driven basket case.

I believe the fear of death is the number one fear driven phobia in society.

If we allow it.

“Yea, although I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil.”

Notice it says “shadow” of death. Think about that one if you never did before.

Your choice.

No bravery or bravado on our part. The ability to even tramp through the territory of death is because of Jesus.

“Your rod and staff comfort me.”

I like to envision that as fulfilled in the Cross. On the Cross Jesus conquered death.

In Jesus I have conquered death.

So as the shadow of death casts it’s shadow in front of me as I walk through it’s territory, there is no fear because Jesus has already fought that battle for me.

Keepin’ it Real,

~Doc~
